Looking for something awesome to do this summer? Want to help young people from across the UK experience a week they'll never forget? Phoenix Summer Camps are holiday opportunities for young people who might not ﻿﻿﻿ge﻿﻿﻿t a break or could do with time away from home for a variety of reasons. Based at Savio House, Bollington, each week offers thirty 11-12 year olds an opportunity to experience a place of learning, belonging, playing and meaning. We task each young person with becoming a knight and theme our activities accordingly – fortunately no one has failed yet! Join us for campfires, archery, canoeing, theme parks and most importantly, creating a Salesian atmosphere for some amazing young people.

As the language spoken on the camps is English (or it's regional variation!) volunteering spots get taken up quite quickly. If you are keen to be part of the camps (volunteers are needed July 22nd to August 5th 2017) please get in touch with the organisers as soon as possible. We have had volunteers from Slovakia, Spain, Belgium and the Republic of Ireland in the recent past and are always keen to welcome new people.Volunteers must be aged 18+ with experience of working with young people and have a good understanding of English. Unfortunately we are unable to offer help towards your travel expenses but there is no accommodation/hosting fee.Email sue@salesianyouthministry.org.uk for more details
